The Challenger of Brasília, which was planned for April, was suspended and postponed. The Koch Tavares, organizer of the event, said the lack of sponsorship and other problems prevented the implementation of competition in the Brazilian capital. The organization denied that the problem has to do with the global financial crisis.

Koch Tavares also ensures that the event will be held at the end of the season, probably after the Copa Petrobras that is always played between the months of September/October.
